It's astounding at the amount of generalizing going on in this thread about children. You meet a few bad or cranky apples and suddenly all children are horrible, bratty monsters. Or you get those that only like quiet kids or kids that don't talk, which is happening likely because they're either tired or shy in public. Children behave differently in the presence of others or while out in public. They just are. Young ones especially.

No one is forcing you to have kids. No one cares. I don't. It is your choice, but it's sad to base this choice oj flabbergasted opinions of other people's kids.

It's like when I go to the store and I have my one year old with me, he's normally a peach and either wants to walk beside me or sit idly in the cart, but sometime his gums get sore from having SIX TEETH come in at once. So I comfort him while buying little things to make it better and all the while I have rude individuals telling me what a brat I have or how unfit my parenting skills are. The ONE time someone sees him upset and suddenly he's labled a menace? A brat? My little man who would sooner hug your leg and babble at you with a smile before blowing a kiss than to scream, shout or throw a tantrum?

Generalizing is just way too rampant these days. It's sad. If you don't want kids then don't have them. If you do someday want kids then strive to care for them and teach them NOT to do these things.

It's not as if kids are programmed at birth to behave a certain way their whole life.

I'm not really patient with kids and I am just one of those people that shouldn't have themneutralsweatdrop

Please don;t get offended of my post, but I do like kids from ages 5 to 9 when they sweet and cute

1. Do you not like kids and why?
Dislike kids that are under 10. Can't relate to them at all.

Were you never younger than ten years old?

I was, of course, but I can't relate to them at all now. I can't hold up conversation with kids that age and younger. Back during one of my education courses, I had the horrific luck of being placed in a 2nd grade classroom for a few days. Worst teaching experience of my life. The teacher thought I was going to be teaching elementary level and when I told her I was teaching middle/high school, she was very relieved. She had intended to tell me to change age groups and try the high school level or to switch careers entirely b/c I clearly wasn't fit for it, or any type of job or anything that had young kids involved. Their brain at least needs some development before I can relate to them. Just how I am.

How about being a Teacher at a College?

I could do it, but requires more education I think. Not entirely sure as I haven't looked into it. Middle/High school I am ok with though smile

I think you might like working with disability young adults at a college I don't think it requires some special degree except maybe for High School degreebiggrin

I'd have to look into it to be sure. Thanks smile Working at a college can be a bit intimidating. Probably something I'd look into one day though.

I don't know why but I hate people my age. I mean, people in their teens too.

I find them annoying. Yes, all the texting and s**t. Shoving their iPhones to my face. And telling me about relationships that does not concern me. Scratch that, telling me about guys and the cutest one and the ones who like me and them, and I JUST DONT CARE classified_fu

2. Is it hard to find a guy that doesn't like kids?
I wouldn't know I'm not in the market for a relationship.

3. Your opinion about anything related to this topic.
The only kid(s) I would ever really tolerate is blood-related. My nephew is just a goof. Other peoples kids, I want to wrangle their necks for some reason- well not all of them (the ones raised right are alright in my book). I'd kill my own kids if I had any.

i hate kids that aren't my friends kids
******** if im going to have my own. no way jose.

my friends kids are okay, i dont have nieces or nephews yet, but they'd be okay too. i'll babysit sometimes. but not small children because they scare me. they're too fragile and needy and incapable of looking after themselves.

I love children.
Then again, I'm very good with children and always have been. I'm one of those people who gets lost children approaching them (even before I had a kid of my own) and asking for help, I get kids following me around and starting up conversations with me out of the blue.
I imagine if I was one of those people who kids hide from when I make eye contact with them, I might not like them as much.

Parents, on the other hand, I'm not always such a fan of.
If I see a kid repeatedly exhibiting "bratty" behaviours, I don't blame the kid, I just feel sorry for them.
There are no inherently bad kids. Just bad parents.

1. Do you not like kids and why?
I don't like kids. They're to obnoxious and hyper for me. Plus I've had some negative experiences with them that have convinced me the human race should not be expanded/continued.

2. Is it hard to find a guy that doesn't like kids?
Nope.

Lol. The human race shouldn't continue because you've had a few bad experiences with kids? Children arn't even developed yet...they can't make decisions on their own. If you had a few bad experiences with them, its because you were doing something to upset them, or they just weren't raised right.
